    Fingers crossed for the short-term and long-term for Erin Cuthbert.

    Thankfully Erin Cuthbert is up on her feet and able to hobble off without the need for a stretcher.

    Let's hope it isn't anything too serious for the Chelsea midfielder.

    But it means her afternoon is over and she is replaced by Jessie Fleming.

    Into the final 10 minutes...

    There didn't seem too much in that. Whether Erin Cuthbert's hands are over her face in despair.

    Concerning moment here. Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert needs urgent treatment after being clattered in the follow-through of a challenge from her own team-mate.

    How many times do we see that?

    A golden chance at one end goes begging - and then one at the other end is taken almost immediately.

    One minute, Leicester were cursing their luck that they were not ahead - the next minute, they are behind.

    It's a lovely finish from Kenza Dali but she was allowed far too much space and time to pull the trigger by the Foxes defence.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Leicester

    Aileen Whelan almost sets up a Leicester equaliser at the other end, whipping in a low cross from the right which has too much power on it for Hannah Cain.

    Carrie Jones then drags a low shot wide from the edge of the box.

    The hosts are pushing for a second goal. A corner is swung in from the left but Aileen Wheelan is on hand to clear the ball to safety - at the expense of another corner.

    Villa's second cross is also hacked away by the Leicester defence.

    A club of Manchester City's stature need to be playing in the Champions League.

    When they are in the Champions League, the performances need to be better.

    Man City 2-0 Chelsea

    A warning for Manchester City that Chelsea remain dangerous and there is still plenty of time foe the visitors to turn this game around.

    Sam Kerr is predictably in the thick of things, producing a snapshot from an acute angle which City keeper Ellie Roebuck has to block.

    Leicester had actually made a pretty decent start at Villa Park, but the WSL's bottom club find themselves behind early on.

    Can Willie Kirk's team respond?

    Kenza Dali

    This one counts!

    Kenza Dali makes it seven goals for the season in all competitions - and what a goal this is.

    The 31-year-old collects a loose ball on the edge of the Leicester area before arrowing a low shot into the bottom corner. No chance for Janina Leitzig in the Foxes' goal.

    The home side have an early lead.

    GOAL - Reading 0-1 Brightonpublished at 14:09 BST 26 March 2023

    A potentially HUGE early goal at the bottom!

    Brighton's Veatriki Sarri confidently drills in from about eight yards out, pouncing on a knockdown from a team-mate at the far post.

    The celebrations from the visitors - as everyone apart from the keeper joins in - show how important that is.

    Second-bottom Brighton would move above Reading, and could pull clear of Leicester, with a win.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    Leicester go close again as Sam Tierney arrives unmarked at the far post, but her low effort is cleared off the line.

    The ball ends up in the Villa net, but the goal is disallowed for a foul inside the area.

    While Chelsea huff and puff, Manchester City are trying to blow the house down with a third.

    City goal-machine Khadija Shaw causes bother down the right channel and when a loose ball drops to Filippa Angeldahl - who scored the opening goal - she drills a low shot into the side-netting.

    Leicester go up the other end and win the game's first corner.

    The cross is flicked on towards the back post, where Sophie Howard nods wide.

    What Chelsea do well is leave three at the back and either Niamh Charles or Jess Carter will go up and join with the attack.

    Time for another change from Chelsea boss Emma Hayes.

    Norwegian left-back Maren Mjelde goes off with Serb midfielder Jelena Cankovic thrown on.

    Looks like the Blues will keep the same shape but with a rejig of personnel.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Leicester

    That's a nervous first touch from Leicester goalkeeper Janina Leitzig, whose clearance rolls out of play for an Aston Villa throw.

    The home side recycle possession and Kirsty Hanson threads a ball through to Rachel Daly, who can only find the side-netting.

    Chelsea have got the armoury to get themselves back in this still. City cannot relent.
